Solo Sikoa Reveals What NXT Planned For Him Before His Main Roster Call Up
From the very first day of joining WWE, he had been treated as a main event star. He continued and undefeated run in the NXT. He defeated some of the biggest names in the NXT before joining the main roster earlier this year. He even won the WWE NXT North American Championship just after joining the main roster and he had to vacate it since he could not carry an NXT title while being on the main roster.
He made his main roster debut at the Clash at the castle pay per view event where he helped Roman Reigns to retain the WWE Universal Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre.

Solo Sikoa who is currently working as a member of the Bloodline faction recently spoke to Josh Martinez’s “Superstar Crossover” where he talked about what NXT had planned for him before he joined the main roster recently. He also revealed what he learned from Paul Heyman. He said;
“I felt like before I got called up, there were a lot of plans to after Carmelo Hayes and maybe Bron Breakker, you know, generation versus generation. I felt like it worked out just fine, man. Just to let everybody know, I’ve never lost the North American Title. I had to give it up, so it’s two different things. I never got beat.”
“First of all, he’s been around my family for over 50 years. So he’s been around Roman’s dad. He was around my dad. I don’t know if a lot of people know this. My dad was one of the first Paul Heyman guys when they started in WCW because he was their manager.
“He’s with Roman and my brothers and now with me. There’s a lot of things that he’s taught me and it’s still teaching me. He said this is the place where you can go be a big superstar and make some money to take care of your family.”
